The Memoir of an American Original

A deeply reported and personal exploration of identity, resilience, and belonging from one of the most influential Spanish-language journalists in the world, Essential offers a nuanced, urgent portrait of what it means to be Latino in today’s America and the contradictions of being vital to a country that still struggles to recognize you fully. &nbsp;In a country still grappling with its sense of identity and the question of who belongs, Essential explores: What does it mean to be Latino in America today?&nbsp;Blending years of on-the-ground reporting with personal reflection, Enrique Acevedo offers a layered, urgent portrait of a community both shaping and being shaped by the nation’s future. Latinos comprise nearly one in five Americans, including more than eleven million in California alone. Yet their place in the national conversation is too often reduced, politicized, or misunderstood, especially when filtered through the narrow lens of immigration.With President Trump back in office and immigration again a defining fault line in American politics, this book arrives at a pivotal moment. From frontline workers during the pandemic to families navigating the opaque machinery of deportation, Essential explores labor, identity, resilience, and the quiet contradictions Latinos carry every day. It challenges the false choice between assimilation and exclusion. It calls on the country to expand its definition of belonging to reflect its people's full complexity and history.Part memoir, part chronicle, Essential is a powerful testament to the stories we tell about who we are and who we still have the chance to become.

Being Latino and Indispensable in America

Essential

A&nbsp;practical guide to realizing our potential amid the chaos of modern life and learning how to reconnect to ourselves, our work, and each other by focusing on the pursuit of excellence, by bestselling author and performance coach Brad Stulberg."An absolutely beautiful book."—Steve Kerr, nine-time NBA Champion; Coach of the Golden State Warriors and Team USAWhether you are practicing guitar, pushing your limits at the gym, leading a team, honing a craft, studying medicine, or giving yourself the time and space to finally write that book, the pursuit of excellence is a big part of what makes life worth living—and it is for all of us. Unlike "pseudo-excellence," which is about hustle culture and hacks, genuine excellence is about challenging yourself in worthwhile endeavors, focusing on what matters most, and expressing the unique qualities that make you who you are. Too often, we get caught up in convenience and distraction to the detriment of our true potential. The good news is that we can set ourselves on a better path, one that includes more aliveness and resonance, more connection to self and others.Here, Stulberg finds convergence between modern science, age-old philosophy, and daily practice to explain that we are wired to strive for excellence—it is what we are here to do, core to our humanity. Yet our environment often works against us. The path he shares to reclaim excellence means learning about:<ul><li>Defining, living, and working in alignment with your values</li><li>Cultivating focus and concentration</li><li>The power of prioritizing consistency over intensity</li><li>Building durable confidence</li><li>The connection between mastery and mattering</li><li>Developing the courage to care deeply</li><li>Designing environments that support excellence</li><li>Selecting goals based not just on what you want to achieve, but on who you want to become</li><li>Overcoming the traps, pitfalls, and barriers to excellence including alienation, chasing a never-ending supply of dopamine, and addiction to external validation and the opinions of others</li><li>Applying the principles and insights of excellence to one's organizations and communities</li></ul> At its core, excellence is a deeply-fulfilling process of becoming—the best performer, and person, you can be.&nbsp;

A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World

The Way of Excellence

A gripping memoir of faith, family, identity, and stardom, in Devout pop star David Archuleta shares his story of leaving the Mormon church, navigating the relationship with his emotionally abusive father, coming to terms with his sexuality, and finding strength in being your authentic self.Three years ago American Idol alum and pop star David Archuleta found himself on the floor of his apartment, suicidal, riddled with anxiety, and pleading to a god he was no longer sure even existed. It was a crisis of faith and identity, but it was also a turning point for a man who grew up queer in the Mormon church with severe anxiety and constantly under the pressure of his overbearing manager of a father. After that night, David vowed to be his authentic self.Of course, the journey to authenticity is never easy, which is the story Archuleta shares in Devout. From his childhood growing up in the Mormon church, to allegations of sexual abuse against his father and step-grandfather, to his time on American Idol and how the show runners and producers mistreated their young contestants, Archuleta’s memoir is filled with earnest, revelatory anecdotes from his fascinating personal and public lives.Not just for Archuleta’s myriad fans, Devout is a universal story of hope, told with sincerity and humility. It’s a salve for anyone who’s felt different, questioned their faith, felt they were living inauthentically. Most importantly, it’s a story for anyone whose had to break yourself down in order to rebuild yourself stronger than ever, and that’s everyone.

“Arresting and vivid, raw and breathtaking . . . told with stunning originality. Annie Lord is a phenomenal talent.” ―Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love“An electrifying debut.” ―Caroline O'Donoghue, author of The Rachel IncidentWith the incisive wit and depth of Dolly Alderton and Sally Rooney, a fierce, funny, and unflinching memoir about the exhilaration of love and the pain of its ending, from an acclaimed British Vogue writer.You never forget your first love—or your first true heartbreak. Annie Lord is going through a devastating breakup after a five-year relationship with someone she thought she’d be with forever. Try as she might, she can’t stop reliving the past, obsessively examining every moment that led to this point.When she’s not having disastrous rebound sex or stalking her ex on Instagram, Annie puts every moment of their history under a microscope, trying to understand where things went wrong and why. The answers, when they come, will surprise her as much as anyone.Notes on Heartbreak is an engrossing and emotionally evocative account of love and loss that will resonate with anyone who has ever nursed a broken heart, been in a codependent relationship, or has come to understand that romantic partnerships are infinitely more complex than what we experience in the moment. It is a deeply personal and insightful book about the best and worst of love and how it can upend our lives: the euphoria and the desolation, the beauty and the cruelty.

Notes on Heartbreak

A fascinating biography of the philanthropist Albert Barnes, whose pioneering collection of modern art was meant to transform America’s soulFrom prominent critic and biographer Blake Gopnik comes a compelling new portrait of America’s first great collector of modern art, Albert Coombs Barnes. Raised in a Philadelphia slum shortly after the Civil War, Barnes rose to earn a medical degree and then made a fortune from a pioneering antiseptic treatment for newborns. Never losing sight of the working-class neighbors of his youth, Barnes&nbsp;became a ruthless advocate for their rights and needs. His vast art collection—181 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes, 59 Matisses, 46 Picassos—was dedicated to enriching their cultural lives. A miner was more likely to get access than a mine owner.Gopnik’s meticulous research reveals Barnes as a fierce advocate for the egalitarian ideals of his era’s progressive movement. But while his friends in the movement worked to reshape American society, Barnes wanted to transform the nation’s aesthetic life, taking art out of the hands of the elite and making it available to the average American.The Maverick’s Museum&nbsp;offers a vivid picture of one of America’s great eccentrics. The sheer ferocity of Barnes’s democratic ambitions left him with more enemies than allies among people of all classes, but for a circle of intimates, he was a model of intelligence, generosity, and loyalty. In this compelling portrait, Gopnik reveals a life shaped by contradictions, one that left a lasting impact.

Atomic Habits&nbsp;meets&nbsp;Think Like a Monk&nbsp;in this profound guide to lasting change from behavior coach and host of the hit podcast&nbsp;The One You Feed. Weaving together behavioral science with timeless wisdom, Eric Zimmer reveals how to stop fighting yourself and start moving forward.More than 30 years ago, Eric Zimmer faced a life-altering battle with heroin&nbsp;addiction that left him homeless and facing prison--a turning point that sparked his search to understand how profound change happens, and how we can chart sustainable paths forward while honoring both who we are and who we hope to become.How a Little Becomes a Lot&nbsp;starts with a radical premise: your mind has a mind of its own. Each day, it pulls you in countless directions—toward what you value most, what you desire now, away from&nbsp;what you fear, and&nbsp;toward&nbsp;what feels comfortable. Real, lasting change happens when you stop trying to strong-arm this complexity and instead learn to work with it, one small choice at a time.Zimmer's motto&nbsp;is simple:&nbsp;little by little, a little becomes a lot.&nbsp;Personal transformation isn't about superhuman willpower or heroic feats of character.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;not a watershed&nbsp;or an epiphany; it's the result of the little decisions to do A instead of B, to say yes instead of no.&nbsp;These tiny shifts create powerful momentum.Drawing on sources from Zen Buddhism to modern psychology, Zimmer offers practical wisdom you can use&nbsp;today:<ul><li>A path to align your daily actions with your core values</li><li>Tools that quiet&nbsp;self-criticism and build&nbsp;the kind of self-compassion that actually works</li><li>Small, achievable practices that create momentum when you feel stuck</li><li>Ways to find balance in a world that pushes extremes</li></ul>These “Wise Habits” blend outer behaviors that improve health and well-being with inner attitudes that bring more peace and clarity to everyday life.Whether you’re&nbsp;feeling stuck,&nbsp;trying to change a specific habit, or seeking a more fulfilling life, How a Little Becomes a Lot&nbsp;will work for you. And by the end, that won’t feel little at all.
